Jocasta's and Oedipus' accounts of the murders at the crossroads are examples of flashback in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 40 5B.C.E.).

Specifically, the term flashback describes the telling in the present time of an incident from an earlier time. The description fits Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta swapping murderous crime stories at the Delphi-Daulia intersection in Phocis. It also may fit the reminiscences of the priest of Zeus and of the Corinthian and Theban shepherds, but in far more abbreviated form.
